Another year goes by
Yep I am alive.
So I just passed the 2 year mark. Thats two years since I left Oz and came to live in the UK. Feelings are really mixed at the moment. I love the summertime here, but I hate the winter. I love where I live and my house mates but I hate working away during the weeks! I went home for xmas, and had a great time catching up with everyone. I really missed the place but I’m not ready to come home just yet! Plans for the next step are formulating, but I won’t say anything on here. But anyway, the summer is here right now and Europe is happy. Love it.
Right now I’m working away in Derby (in the east midlands), staying in a hotel Monday-Friday. There’s not much to do in Derby, but theres some cool old pubs about. I’ve been working there since February and its getting really old. The place I’m working is pretty dull, and theres no windows. Every weekend feels like a holiday coming back to London! On the up-side, I got promoted and I’m doing a technical team-leader role on this project which is really interesting.
Highlight for this year so far has been the trip to portugal. We stayed in Alvor, and got some great surf in Sagres and Arrifana. Heres a link to some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chazwoza/sets/72157623698780277/. A few upcoming travel plans include Hungary for the Formula 1, Israel, and a couple of trips that are yet to be confirmed. Hopefully somewhere warm where I can get some diving in, as I haven’t been diving in 18 months.
